This Tuesday was a very special day, we had two birthdays to celebrate! Daniel had his 17th birthday and got to share it with Eloina (married to Carlos). We had quite the celebration, popcorn and soda, a game of mafia, chocolate cake and of course presents!
It was such an honor to be able to celebrate this special day with them! Eloina is such a kind person, always inviting you over to her house, willing to talk or do your nails. It was fun to be able to celebrate her, and do something nice for her on this very special day.
We are super proud of Daniel and how far he has come, God has done an amazing work in his life! When he first arrived he had a severe addiction to drugs and was trying everything possible to not stay here. But one day his Mom brought him here in tears, because someone was threatening his life, begging us to let him stay. Ever since then he decided he wanted to change, and is doing very well. He is taking classes and taking tests on a weekly basis. He is also in a program where he is learning to do accounting, also people skills and etiquette, and after his training he will then work at a grocery store. We are honored to be a part of his life, and all God is doing. We are excited to see all the great plans God has for his life, and what his future will bring! It was such a privilege to celebrate his 17th Birthday! May God Bless you Daniel, in all that you do and guide your steps in the decisions you make. We are so proud of you!!
